Vessel

Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a vessel includes: a hull 100 provided with a propellant 140 ; a deck 200 spaced apart from the hull 100 ; and a support 300 between the hull 100 and the deck 200 , the support 300 configured to support 300 the deck 200 with respect to the hull 100 , wherein the hull 100 is disposed below a water surface during operation, and the deck 200 is supported by the support 300 to be disposed above the water surface during operation.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A vessel comprising:
 a hull provided with a propellant; 
 a deck spaced apart from the hull; and 
 a support between the hull and the deck, the support configured to support the deck with respect to the hull, 
 wherein the hull is disposed below a water surface during operation, and the deck is supported by the support to be disposed above the water surface during operation, and 
 wherein the hull comprises: 
 a compressed air tank at an upper side of a center portion of the hull, the compressed air tank filled with a compressed air; 
 a hangar below the compressed air tank and capable of storing shipment; 
 a plurality of ballast tanks around the hangar; and 
 a seawater tank at a lower side of the center portion of the hull and filled with seawater. 
 
     
     
       2. The vessel of  claim 1 , wherein the hull is formed in an overall disk shape, and a vertical width of a radial center portion of the hull is larger than that of an edge. 
     
     
       3. The vessel of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the compressed air tank is disposed above the water surface. 
     
     
       4. The vessel of  claim 1 , wherein the ballast tank is filled with at least one of a buoyancy providing member, air, and water to provide buoyancy to the deck. 
     
     
       5. The vessel of  claim 1 , wherein the deck comprises a first area and a second area for providing buoyancy to the first area. 
     
     
       6. The vessel of  claim 5 , wherein a buoyancy providing member is disposed in the second area to occupy a certain volume. 
     
     
       7. The vessel of  claim 1 , wherein the support comprises:
 a plurality of struts between the hull and the deck; and 
 a shaft for transferring the shipment from the deck to the hangar. 
 
     
     
       8. The vessel of  claim 1 , wherein the propellant comprises a plurality of driving devices installed at different positions of the hull. 
     
     
       9. The vessel of  claim 8 , wherein a traveling direction of the hull is determined by driving at least one driving device selected from among the plurality of driving devices. 
     
     
       10. The vessel of  claim 5 , wherein a first buoyancy is formed by the ballast tank of the hull and a second buoyancy is formed by the second area of the deck. 
     
     
       11. The vessel of  claim 10 , wherein a center of buoyancy of the vessel is formed higher than a center of gravity of the vessel. 
     
     
       12. The vessel of  claim 1 , wherein at least one anchor for anchoring and at least one anchor for towing are disposed in the hull.
